However, an entrepreneur who owns an excavation contractors business in a location that is not competitive to you can be a great learning resource for you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
